Sai had an interesting idea, namely that after the G10 matches, we'd get to see the original 2nd String representatives play the new top 10 members. While the generic 1st court players would probably just get crushed, it would be a way for Kazuya, Oni (if he loses to Kintarou) and Irie to get top 10 spots.

Kintarou will not get crushed and win right now, believe me. The one who's gonna be out is Oni

Agreed. For TnK to just get shut down after Tezuka left on a god note with TnK?
It would be ridiculous.
Kintaro should be flying and teleporting and asking the referees to bring in cameras for his next shots since Ryoma was just a beast.
And all Tezuka did was do his normal ZSD in TnK and just the beam of light alone shut down Yamato lol.

I think Sanada just has the common 'all top tier players know each other' deal, sort of like how Tezuka knows Shiraishi is more dangerous than Chitose despite never playing either of them (Seigaku never got very far in nationals prior to this year).

There is no way Oni would get crushed, because then the point would be that this formally #1 player sacrificed himself to raise a new generation and then got crushed by a newcomer that left him in the dust? So are we supposed to get the idea that it never pays to help other people in POT? POT is a pretty cutthroat world but I don't think it's this cutthroat. He can pull a Tezuka and have a drawn out fight and then lose, and the only reason he'd lose is because he stopped improving himself because he was busy training newcomers and you can be sure everyone will point this fact out.

Expecting Kintarou > Oni and Ryoma vs Ryoga personally.

I'm honestly waiting for this to end...

I mean, in PoT I knew that Ryoma was the protagonist, I knew that Seigaku was the main team and I had to "cheer" (I don't know any other way to say it) Seigaku, and follow their adventures till the Nationals' finals.

In SPoT... do I "cheer" the Ms? The black jackets? WTF is going to happen after this, what is it prupose?

I mean, it's like watching a tennis tournament without having a favourite player... yeah, it's entertaining, but it's not the same.

If people believe that Oni will take games out of Kintarou right now....

Konomi gave him TnK to win, to completely destroy Oni

And I doubt Kin chan will not go full power in Tenimuhou. Maybe they'll need to get lots of cameras then if they want to keep an eye in the match

It'll be bad writings if Oni is the only 1 in G10 to simply get a second chance at being G10 again. Why wouldn't other G10, say Byoudonin or Shuuji(if they lose) get a chance to play again?

Irie challenge no 20, so he's not in the lineup against G10. Oni and Kazuya is in, and some random 1st court fodder.

Irie best stays at number 20, though. It's fit his style more that way. I'm not saying he's actually no 20 in strength, but I think it'll make for a funnier match when they go oversea.

Most of the thing I post is probably assumption if it's not a fact that I support using some evidence from the manga.

If you knows you're on my ignore list and you quote my post, there's high chance I would ignore you. Or answer you and not look at your response.

I thought it was just me.
I never know who to root for.

Especially now even more that Konomi scrapped the MSers wearing camp uniform and now wearing school uniforms.
So Sanada and Akutsu will be wearing different jerseys on the same team. Its stupid to me.

I don't feel that a bunch of MS brats even deserve to come and take out the Top HSers. They should wait their time.
I just don't understand at all.

I just root for whoever has the coolest tennis or persona nowadays. I don't get the goals, or the aims of anybody.
I mean, for Ochi who just lost his badge, why doesn't he go over to Kenya, annihalate him and take No.18.
If he doesn't feel like going back to 2nd String lol. I don't get people's aims or goals.

So for Tanegashima/Ohmagari VS Akutsu/Sanada, I'll root for the HSers. Although Sanada's tennis is amongst the best to watch in anime form in the series.

I just can't see the point in Oni losing this early on, especially after all of the buildup of him being the No 1 player in Japan and beating Byoudouin. It would be like if Tezuka had lost in the original ranking tournament.

Not to mention the fact that it would put Kintarou far above Ryoma, who isn't capable of returning the wall smashing shot, even though he has Tenimuhou and 10 balls at once.
